Margaret Peart

Concepts
I have always used landscape imagery in my work as a means of representing those human conditions and emotions reflected in the elemental forces and cyclic changes found in nature. Although my paintings are concerned with the darker elements of Mans psyche, I continue to convey a sense of optimism.Influences
My mixed media works on paper, drawings and oils on canvas refer to culture i.e. Etruscan, Anasazi (New Mexico).
